Good Morning ?
DEVOTIONAL
Fight Back with Truth

At the beginning of Yeshua’s public ministry, a strange thing happened: He was led into the wilderness, by the Spirit, where He encountered the devil.

After fasting for forty days and forty nights, Yeshua was hungry—taunted by the enemy to satisfy His craving for food. Essentially, Satan provoked Yeshua to prove that He was Elohim’s Son by turning rocks into bread.

Can you sense the manipulation?

If you’re really the Son of Elohim, do something. Take matters into your own hands. Give in to your desire. Provide for yourself. Is Elohim even good if He holds out on you?

But Yeshua refused to be bullied.

“Yeshua answered, ‘It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of Elohim.’”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This pattern continued throughout two more temptations—where the devil temped Yeshua with protection and power, but Yeshua rebuked him with Scripture.

So what are some things we can learn from Yeshua’s encounter with the enemy?

-Yeshua knew that life is more than having a full stomach. Though He surely longed to satisfy his physical craving, He knew that true sustenance comes from Elohim.
-Yeshua knew that engaging in debate with the enemy isn’t wise. Instead, He relied on the power of Scripture, quoting from Deuteronomy as His weapon of defense.
-Yeshua knew He had nothing to prove. Unlike Adam and Eve in Genesis, who doubted Elohim’s goodness and gave into temptation, Yeshua was able to resist the enemy.
-Yeshua knew He was being tempted by the devil and acted in accordance. We must learn to recognize when we're under attack, and remember to fight back with Elohim’s Word.

So, how is the enemy tempting you this week? How is he enticing you to doubt Elohim’s trustworthiness? Remember, Elohim has enabled you to fight back with truth by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 81:3, “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” The KJV translators did add wording to the Bible that sometimes causes confusion. The word “solemn” does not appear in the original and even the Septuagint (the Greek translation) reads this way. “Blow the trumpet at the new moon, in the glorious day of your feast.” The original wording in today’s English wold be more closely related to a celebration instead of a solemn occasion.

Praying towards Jerusalem, or not???

Another subject that I am investigating in my own life which I would appreciate your input on.

In 1 Kings Solomon dedicates the new temple and asks Father to answer prayers when directed towards Jerusalem. We see then in Daniel 6 that Daniel opens his windows towards Jerusalem and prays three times a day.

Both Solomon and Daniel prayed on their knees and there are many other examples, Yeshua in the Garden, Moses, Abraham, etc.

Yeshua taught his followers what to pray, but I do not believe how to sit, stand, kneel, etc. when praying so it could have been assumed for that time and culture.

We are instructed to :
1. Pray in our inner rooms, so that it isn't a public spectacle. Matt 6:6 - But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
2. Men shouldn’t cover their heads and women should cover their heads. 1 Cor 11:4-5 - Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head. But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

Do you possibly have other verses instructing us on:

1. Should we pray towards Jerusalem?
2. Should we be kneeling?
